Sally was a lovely human bean! The cottage is perfection. Every last detail thought about from the maps and guides and board games to the wine opener in the kitchen. And the garden is amazing. Was sorry we could not stay longer.

Sally is a lovely host and communicates promptly. She is a sweet lady. She was very accommodating to our needs and flexible with changes. Her house and garden are just beautiful. The pictures are no match for the beauty of her place. This place is really worth what you pay for and more. It is quaint and charming, with an awesome host.

Beautiful views are found from our Annex in Much Hadham. 10 miles to Stansted Airport and fast trains to London and Cambridge. Open plan with double futon and flat screen TV. Smart shower room and kitchen area with fridge, microwave, toaster, single hob, electric steamer and slow cooker.

Countryside surrounded by farm land with public footpaths. Historic villages of Much Hadham and Standon either side of us. Market town, Bishop's Stortford, 5 miles away. From Bishop's Stortford trains can be taken to London and Cambridge. One quick train stop into Stansted Airport.

The annex was a great place to stay for a short getaway. It had everything we needed with great views. (The games downstairs were a nice suprise too). Suzanne was a very friendly and communicative host who recommended a lovely place to eat (The Bull Inn). Would love to come back again in the summer when we can make the most of the countryside.

Our stay was perfect. Suzanne is a very kind and carrying person and she gave us a wonderful welcome and made us feel very much as home during our stay. The annex is just as lovely as the photos. Would recommend to anyone!

The Vineyard is one of three cottages at Lordship's Barns, located in 600 acres of unspoilt rolling Hertfordshire countryside. A tranquil bolthole just an hour away from London, near the town of Ware.
The barns were recently renovated and boast hand-crafted kitchens with German appliances; Nespresso machines; underfloor heating; and wood burning stoves.
Explore the countryside, including ponds, woods and a vineyard. Or travel further afield to Cambridge or into London in under an hour.

Few would ever believe that London could be less than an hour away from The Vineyard, surrounded by rolling Hertfordshire countryside. One of three barn conversions, we are set in 600 acres of countryside, with cows grazing in green pastures, swathes of vivid yellow rapeseed, fields of swaying crops and even a working English vineyard.

Lordship’s Barns are the perfect country retreat from the Capital, being as little as an hour’s drive and even less by the fast intercity trains from King’s Cross to Stevenage, 9 miles away. The village of Dane End is walking distance, less than a mile away, where there is a village shop and children’s playground.
The nearby village of Watton-at-Stone (5 miles) has a gem of a country coaching inn, The Bull, which dates back to the 15th century and serves a delicious mix of gastro British classics and tapas-style deli dishes. Also 5 miles away, Pearce’s Farm Shop sells a tantalizing array of goodies including locally sourced meats and fresh fish delivered daily, fruit and veg, pies and pastries, cheeses, chutneys and deli delectables. There’s also an excellent cafe as well as PYO strawberries and raspberries when they’re in season.
The historic market town of Hertford is 10 minutes drive (7-8 miles), with all the shops, amenities, pubs and restaurants families could need, including a TESCO, Sainsburys and Ocado that will deliver to Lordship Barn.
The beautiful university city of Cambridge is 30 minutes drive, with its ornate colleges and chapels, excellent museums and galleries, punts gliding down the river, a historic market place and quaint passageways crammed with interesting shops, cafes and bistros.
Such lovely countryside, so close to the Capital, means there are numerous fabulous country estates to visit, with magnificently landscaped gardens and period interiors. Audley End is especially recommended for families with horses to meet in the Victorian stable yard and a play area that has springy wooden horses, a ‘play-mansion’ and adjacent cafe, plus a miniature railway around the grounds. Knebworth House is also great for kids thanks to a fab Dino Trail, with 70 life sized dinosaurs to see as well as an adventure playground with a bouncy castle, giant slide and splash water features. Hatfield House also a play area and Farm Park where children can feed the animals, play in sand pits and bounce around on tractor tyres. When the weather isn’t great, other options to keep children entertained include Woody’s Play Barn in Ware and a Hollywood Bowl and Cineworld in Stevenage.

Very relaxing environment, extremely clean an well organized. Quiet place and safe. I was in this area for professional reasons and after work I could relax and even feel like being on holidays. I will go back there again for sure. L.

The Vineyard is idyllic in every way! The location is perfect for a getaway from the city. The home is very cosy with everything provided that you need. Lovely open plan decor. Also, really easy to get to, get the keys etc - Sasha's got it well organised! The only thing that didn't go perfectly for us was my efforts to light a fire, which after a couple of failed attempts confirmed my position as the 'worst boyfriend ever' according to my wonderful girlfriend . That being said I'm sure other boyfriends will find it easy. We wanted to live there forever and very keen to come back Thanks again!

Andy2017-02-27T00:00:00Z

Geweldig verblijf, bedankt!

Anya2016-12-08T00:00:00Z

Newly renovated, plushy furnished and a short drive away for north Londoners looking for a pleasant country escape. We very much enjoyed our stay.

Guests are welcome to use the yoga area / lounge to relax. Additional blow up mattresses can be made available on request.

Ware is a pretty and very safe town with a charming High Street of shops, restaurants and cafés. I have family living four doors down and so help is always at hand!

Sarita immediately offered to host us and even if we needed just one room, the circumstances were in such way that she put her entire house at our disposal. Even if we couldn't meet, Sarita was always there by e-mail/phone in order to help with anything. The accommodations were impeccable and we really felt welcomed. :) Had an amazing time in Ware and I highly recommend staying at Sarita's!

Andreea2016-10-24T00:00:00Z
